Alder wins Div. II state softball title

Madison Editor 

For Jonathan Alder High School’s varsity 

softball team, the 2019 season was 

filled with so many dog piles. 

The ultimate in this post-win celebration 

that sees players leap on top of one 

another into one happy heap came with 

the Pioneers’ Div. II state championship 

victory over Hebron Lakewood on June 1 

at Firestone Stadium in Akron. 

“We did (the dog pile) at the end of 

every tournament game. We were always 

just excited to keep moving on and keep 

playing with each other,” said junior third 

baseman Jillian Jakse, who earned firstteam 

all-state honors and has been a part 

of Jonathan Alder’s three straight trips to 

the state tournament. 

The Pioneers’ starting pitcher, freshman 

Marlee Jacobs, inherited eight re-

“With the help of Dr. Heather my pregnancy went super amazing.

I can’t thank her enough.” F.W. 11/7/18 

turning starters from the 2018 team who 

knew what to expect when it came to the big 

show. 

“Being there three times already, we felt 

very comfortable. We were used to big 

crowds and all the noise,” Jakse said. “We 

knew that once we got there, we were going 

to take it all. We were very confident and we 

wanted it.” 

This laser focus was evident from early 

on in the season, said Head Coach Dave Mc- 

Grew, who was joined on the coaching staff 

by Heather Colvin, Glen Widner, Charlotte 

Palmer and Cress Murdock. The past two 

years, the players were happy to make 

state; this year, they were determined to not 

just make state but to win it, he said. 

That resolve originated with the team’s 

pre-season trip to Panama City, Fla. 

“By the second day, you didn’t know who 

was a senior and who was a freshman, who 

was the most skilled player... They just 

bonded on a level I’ve never seen before,” 

McGrew said. 

“Panama City was the first time we’d 

even been on the dirt together (this year),” 

said junior centerfielder Lindsey Potter, 

who was named second-team all-district. 

“You could see the determination in everybody’s 

eyes, whether they were on the field 

or on the bench.” 

Junior shortstop Emily Walker, who was 

named second-team all-state, said that 

friendship was the team’s key to success. 

“I feel like we all loved each other. We 

didn’t have any drama that held us back. 

We were best friends, and I think that 

helped a lot.” 

Aside from the obvious high point of the

season—winning state—both Potter and Walker said some of their 

favorite moments came at the regional finals where they beat 

Thornville Sheridan 13-3 to advance to the state final four. 

“It was the last inning and Marlee had struck out the first two 

batters. That’s when I thought, ‘We’re going back to state.’ Then, the 

next hit was a line drive to me, and I made the last out,” Walker said. 

“Once we won regionals, the way I felt was that we were going 

back to the best place we could ever be,” Potter said. “From the beginning 

of the year, I wanted to go back to Akron. It is a great feeling 

to know the crowd is full of people who support you and that 

everyone on the field has your back every single play.” 

Jonathan Alder beat Poland Seminary 6-3 in the state semi-finals 

before facing Lakewood in the finals. The Pioneers got off to a 

fast start, scoring three runs in the first inning. They added a fourth 

run in the third, all the while putting up a defensive front that kept 

Lakewood at Bay. The final score was 4-2. 

Just as they had given the team a huge sendoff before state, the 

Jonathan Alder and Plain City community welcomed the team back 

in grand style after the big victory. 

“They had a semi with a flatbed trailer, fire department trucks, 

police officers...we paraded through town and even stopped for ice 

cream. It was incredible,” McGrew said of the fans’ reception. 

The team also plans to celebrate with a banquet and party, as 

well as a trip to Cedar Point. 

“This team does it right,” McGrew said, chuckling about the celebration 

plans. “They’re just a wonderful bunch of kids.” 

Excelling on national exam 

Jonathan Alder students earned one gold medal, six silver 

medals, 10 bronze medals and 53 honorable mentions on the 2019 

National Spanish Examinations. The exams are the largest of their 

kind in the United States with over 146,000 students participating. 

Dennis Rosales, an eighth-grader who took Spanish 1 for high 

school credit, achieved the highest score among Jonathan Alder students 

and placed second in Ohio. 

Students from Jonathan Alder have a long history of high 

achievement on these exams and were taught by Spanish teachers, 

Lindsay Dollinger and Jessica Flere. 

The National Spanish Examinations are administered each year 

in grades 6-12 and are sponsored by the American Association of 

Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.

Pushing for safety at 42 and 70 



County officials and the Madison County 

Chamber of Commerce are putting their 

support behind possible safety improvements 

along U.S. Route 42 at the I-70 interchange. 

“This section of Route 42 has a long history 

of congestion and crashes due to multiple 

conflicting access points and lack of turn 

lanes,” said Bryan Dhume, Madison County 

engineer. 

The Ohio Department of Transportation 

(ODOT) is scheduled in 2021 to reconstruct 

pavement and improve roadside and subsurface 

drainage on Route 42 between the 

Speedway gas station and Pilot Travel Center. 

As part of that project, the department 

wants to add a center turn lane and better 

align driveways to businesses in the area. 

ODOT is applying for federal highway 

safety funds to cover the costs of the turn 

lane addition and driveway alignments. The 

funding is not guaranteed as departments 

across the state are competing for the funds, 

Dhume said. 

The committee that awards federal highway 

safety dollars takes local support into 

consideration. To this end, Dhume has written 

a letter to Mitch Blackford, deputy director 

of ODOT District 6, declaring support 

for the safety improvements at 42 and I-70. 

Blackford will include the letter with

Mount Sterling’s community yard sales 

coincide with the three days of the festival. 

The cost to have a yard sale included in an 

advertised list of addresses is $5. 

The Summer Jam Festival takes the 

place of the Community Days Festival that 

took place at Veterans Field and the Mount 

Sterling Community Center for the last several 

years. 

To sign up for the yard sale list or for 

ODOT’s funding application. 

Dhume secured the signatures of Madison County commissioners 

David Hunter and Mark Forrest, as well as David Kell, executive 

director of the Chamber. He said he hopes that government 

officials in Deercreek Township, the city of London, and the village 

of West Jefferson will submit similar letters of support. 

“Ongoing commercial and industrial development in the village 

of West Jefferson and city of London continues to place increasing 

pressure on the interchange,” Dhume writes in the letter. “In addition, 

Madison County is in the process of extending water service 

to this area, with completion planned in 18-24 months. We anticipate 

the resulting additional development will cause further congestion 

and higher crash rates if safety improvements are not made 

in the same time period.” 

ODOT should know in the next couple of weeks whether it received 

the safety funding, Dhume said. 

In other business, Dhume announced at the June 4 county commissioners’ 

meeting that he was able to move up replacement of the 

bridge on Rosedale Milford Road, north of Thomas Road in Monroe 

Township. Originally, the project was slated for 2022. Dhume has 

secured federal funding that will be available this July, allowing 

the project to get under way as early as this fall. 

The entire 110-foot long bridge is deteriorated, Dhume said, from 

the steel beams to the timber decking. As a result, the Engineer’s 

Office has lowered the bridge’s weigh limit twice. Vehicles crossing 

the bridge are now limited to 11 tons, effectively preventing loaded 

trucks and farm equipment from using the bridge. The truck detour 

is State Route 38 to State Route 161. 

“For local farmers, it’s the most inconvenience because there’s 

no great way around it,” Dhume said. 

The estimated cost for engineering and construction is $861,650. 

The Engineer’s Office will advertise for bids and contract out the 

work. Once started, the project will take two to three months to 

complete, Dhume said. 

The Southern Boys will perform from 7 to 

10 p.m. July 13 at the Summer Jam Festival. 

Live bands are scheduled for July 14- 

15, as well. The festival is taking place in 

the streets of downtown Mount Sterling.

if you would’ve asked us if we were going to 

make it to the final four at state, we 

would’ve laughed.” 

The same goes for Head Coach Jim 

Stevens, who said he never would have 

guessed the team would end up where it 

did. Part of that had to do with the players’ 

varying experience levels—some had eaten, 

breathed and slept softball for many years 

and some, by comparison, were relatively 

new to the game. 

“To be honest, early in the season, Tony 

Caldwell, my assistant coach, and I looked 

at each other and said, ‘We have to try to 

get these girls to work together as a team,’” 

Stevens said. 

He credits his senior leadership for helping 

to make that happen. Bowman, pitcher 

Isabelle Fisher, shortstop Haley Kurtz, 

rightfielder Hannah Parsons, and third 

baseman Brooke Roberts showed the 

younger players the ropes. After a while, all 

of the players were lifting each other up. 

Bowman said it was “cool to see how the 

team evolved over the season” and how 

everything clicked at tournament time. 

“Once the tournaments hit, it was like, 

bam!, we were a team. After the first tournament 

game, we started shouting, “Family,’ 

out of the huddle. We all worked 

together.” 

The Roughriders had made it to the district 

title game the past four years in a row, 

but each time came up short of a win. Team 

connectivity is what made the difference 

this year, said Fisher, who earned secondteam 

all-state honors and finished the season 

with a 20-7 record, 1.93 ERA, and 192 

strikeouts. 

“The past few years, we’ve had the talent 

to get there. This year, we didn’t have that

raw talent, but we had a lot of heart,” she said. 

One of Fisher’s favorite moments of the season was the team’s 

victory over Bishop Ready to win the Div. III district title. 

“We were on Cloud 9 after that. It gives me goosebumps talking 

about it. Getting over that hump for our coaches was a good feeling,” 

she said, adding that after that, everything else was icing on the 

cake. 

West Jefferson went on to the regionals, held at Wright State 

University in Dayton, where they beat Bellefontaine Benjamin 7-2 

in the semi-finals and West Liberty-Salem 4-2 in the finals to advance 

to state semi-finals where they faced Cardington-Lincoln.

Long & short goodbyes of songs 

Ever since I was a kid spinning 

45 rpm vinyl records on a 

portable record player that had 

a felt-covered platter (yes, I’m 

ancient), I’ve wondered why 

some pop and rock songs end by fading out while others 

have a definitive ending. 

I’m not a musician or a record producer, so I’m not 

well versed in the recording process. But someone 

does make a conscious decision on how to end a song, 

be it the songwriter or the producer. 

A few years ago, National Public Radio researched 

this topic and reported that it comes down to a couple 

of reasons: 1) the fadeout made it easier for radio disc 

jockeys to control the end of a song to allow for commercials, 

etc.; and 2) some artists feel the lingering 

fadeout enhances the listening experience by repeating 

the song’s chorus or “hook.” 

That being said, which is better? The fadeout or the 

definitive ending? 

I asked an old musician friend of mine, Matt Wyatt, 

who played guitar for The Great Plains and now performs 

with The 3 Speeds, which he preferred. 

“My thoughts about fadeouts are, does the band feel 

stupid repeating a phrase, knowing it is not gonna be 

completely heard? Wyatt said. “I prefer clipped, sudden 

endings.” 

Fadeouts can be long or short. They can trick you 

sometimes by fading out and then coming back before 

fading out again. I’m looking at you, psychedelic-era 

Beatles. 

Speaking of The Fab Four, the long fadeout on the 

Beatles’ “Hey Jude” works because it is a mesmerizing 

chant. 

Some short fadeouts almost serve as an abrupt 

ending, like on Bob Dylan’s “Love Minus Zero/No 

Limit,” a song I love. On this song, the fadeout is tantalizingly 

short, making me wish it could at least go 

editor’s notebook 

Rick Palsgrove 

on for a few more seconds. 

Some songs that on a recording 

have a fadeout can sometimes 

cause a band problems 

when performed live. It seems 

like the band does not know how 

to end such a song in a clean 

way. So, during live performances, 

they often strum guitars 

really fast and end the song 

with a “chunk” of drums, bass 

and guitar all at once. There are 

too many instances of this to 

name. Come up with an ending! 

A song with a good definitive 

ending is like coming to the end 

of a good book. The sound ties up neatly and satisfyingly, 

such as with The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled 

Again.” Some endings can be almost jarring but fit the 

song’s attitude, such as The Music Machine’s “Talk, 

Talk,” which ends with a bam in a sharp, clipped 

vocal. 

“No matter what you hear on a record, you’re hearing 

a structured performance in a studio that is worked on 

to get a certain sound, but at the same time, the band 

wants you to feel the immediacy of the music,” said 

Wyatt. “When a song is ending, a fadeout can snap you 

out of denial because you’re obviously hearing someone 

going away who isn’t really going away.” 

It’s all a musical jumble and, anyway, the songs we 

like are all so subjective. Ultimately, it is up to each 

of us to decide what we like best when listening to our 

favorite tunes and, no matter how a song ends, all we 

need to do is replay it to relive the experience. 

I could end this column with a fadeout or just stop.

Tax agreements signed for another warehouse 



West Jefferson village council approved tax incentive agreements 

to pave the way for a new distribution warehouse in the village’s 

commerce park. 

Hillwood, a Dallas, Texas-based developer, plans to build an 

844,000 square-foot building. Construction is slated to start in June 

and finish up sometime in the first half of next year. This is Hillwood’s 

first project in West Jefferson; the developer has done other 

industrial projects in the Columbus area. 

Hillwood does not have a tenant for the West Jefferson building 

but hopes to attract a Fortune 500 company similar to those that 

already have warehouses in the area, according to T.J. O’Brien, 

Hillwood vice president. 

On June 3, council approved a Community Reinvestment Area 

agreement that gives Hillwood a 15-year, 100 percent real property 

tax exemption on the assessed value of the new building. Council 

also approved a 30-year, 100 percent Tax Increment Financing
